Quiet weekend

We're spending a quiet, restful weekend with both our kids and their kids up in Idyllwild.  We rented a 4 bedroom, 14 bed 2 story cabin and split the cost 3 ways. We brought our own food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is back off the road and there is no traffic.  Memorial Day in Idyllwild is a big yard/garage sale weekend, and our daughter and I went around yesterday to several yard sales.  She bought some shoes for the 13 month old and some clothing items.  I found a set of stamps and a stamp pad for $3.00 and I scored 3 books at their library book sale, including "Secret Window, Secret Garden" which is part of a 4 story anthology by Stephen King.  It was so nice yesterday just to go outside and read a book and listen to the robins and the blue jays and watch the antics of the blue jays and squirrels as they were trying to outrace each other and get to the peanuts I had thrown out for them.  I heard the screech of a red-tailed hawk yesterday morning and I'm sure it will be out again today.  Quail were heard in the afternoon, too.  It's just so pleasant and relaxing to be with nature.
